The background of the painting is a collage composed of various fragments of papers and fabrics with diverse patterns and colors. Plant motifs, abstract designs, and geometric shapes in shades of black, white, pink, yellow, and turquoise are visible. The overlapping layers of the collage create a rich texture and add depth to the composition. Fragments of the collage interpenetrate with the painterly parts of the acrylic in places, creating a cohesive, albeit complex, whole. The austerity of the tiger’s representation, with its almost monochromatic white, is softened by the decorativeness and color scheme of the collage. The contrast between the wild animal and the ornamental background may suggest the complexity of nature, its power, and hidden beauty. The title “Devotion” may refer to the intense gaze of the animal, suggesting focus and commitment.
\n“Devotion” is a proposition for lovers of small formats and animal portraits who appreciate the unique combination of painting and collage techniques. Its intense character and richness of textures catch the eye and stimulate the imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
“Devotion” is an intimate and expressive small format artwork by Jolanda Jeklin, executed in acrylic and collage on board with dimensions of 21 x 30 cm in 2025. The painting depicts a stylized portrait of a tiger, in which the rawness and power of the animal intertwine with the delicacy and richness of the collage textures. With her characteristic sensitivity, the artist combines painterly gestures with fragments of various materials, creating a unique and emotionally charged representation. The central part of the composition is occupied by the image of a tiger, shown frontally. Its contours are outlined with dynamic strokes of white acrylic paint against the background of a complex collage structure. The simplified features of the muzzle and the intense gaze convey the strength and wildness of the animal. The white silhouette of the tiger contrasts with the rich background, creating a strong focal point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2834,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[83,64],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3082","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-2025-en","7":"product_cat-small-format","8":"desktop-align-center","9":"tablet-align-left","10":"mobile-align-center","11":"ast-product-gallery-layout-horizontal-slider","12":"ast-product-gallery-with-no-image","13":"ast-magnify-disabled","14":"ast-product-tabs-layout-accordion","16":"first","17":"instock","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
